[QUOTE="Spiff, post: 1063780, member: 404998"] No I did not think to swap the leads over I will try that. I have always been used to hot swapping aerial leads, having worked in TV servicing, radio telephones and on amateur radios. I wonder if I damaged both of the Diseqc switches through not bothering to switch the receiver off ? The thought struck me last night that during the time I was installing both of the Diseqc switches, the receiver came up with LNB fault. This locks the Tecknomate up and requires ditching the mains. When using the manual switch, the display on the Primesat Box's comes on or off depending on which band you are selecting. So as the manual switch is completing the feed from the receiver, is there a voltage from the receiver all the time ? Thus if I had shorted the coaxial the other side of the Diseqc switch, could this have damaged it ? I noted that after the Diseqc switchs started playing up again, that as I set the aerial port in the receiver menu, the signal bar at the bottom was going on or off in unison, but not the display on the Primesat box's. I read earlier in the threads that the Diseqc switches switch the signal and volts separately using different methods, so if that is the case the RF signal part of the switch is working but the voltage side may be damaged ? God Bless Spiff [/QUOTE]
